Thomas Bennett Community College (TBCC) is a secondary school with academy status for pupils aged 11 to 19.

Thomas Bennett Community College offers GCSEs and BTECs for pupils aged 11 to 16.

Students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, further BTECs, CTECs and NVQ Diplomas.

[1][2] It is the lowest performing school in West Sussex and has a reputation for poor quality teaching.

[4][5] The school was named after Sir Thomas Bennett, the chairman of Crawley Development Corporation.

[5] By 1965, the school became one of the first in England to succeed in being truly comprehensive, with encouraging exam results, including disadvantaged children helped to fulfil their potential.

By the 1990s, pupils in the main part of the school were split equally between Canterbury and Southgate buildings, depending on their house.
